"I'll tell you when you're an adult." These are the few words that have been repeated to Damon Ophia for his whole life.
Damon's life is made up of secrets. In some cases, secrets are being kept from him, in others he needs to keep secrets, and in one instance he is the secret being kept from the rest of society.
Alone and orphaned, Damon embarks on a life-changing mission that promises the answers that he's sought after his entire life. Friendships are formed, enemies are created and values are questioned as everything he's ever known is taken from him again and again.
Getting out of this mess alive is one thing. Getting out of it mentally and emotionally intact is something completely different.
(Rated PG 13 for some strong language, violence, and a bit of gore)

Biopod Serie #0: Rust & Stardust
"After everything, you're... one of the few things that actually feels real." In 2030, the sky cracked open. By 2040, Earth belongs to the Biopods. In the present, 2049, humanity has mostly given up, trying to survive through this broken world. They arrived as silent meteorites, egg-shaped monoliths that burrowed into the Earth. At first, humanity thought they were dormant. But they weren't. Each Biopod is a living factory: it devours biological matter-humans, animals, forests-and reconfigures it into cold, sentient machines. The machines they make vary, adapting to terrain, resistance, and resource availability. They don't just kill. They convert. Matthew Riots, gunner from the Frontline, no longer wishing to fight, left the Frontline for Zeta. There he reunited with his sister, living out their quiet lives. But no peace truly exists in a world full of Biopods. Zeta fell, he and his sister completely lost contact. Promising to keep surviving no matter what, Matthew journeyed to the promised land of Athena. The story of Rust And Stardust gives us insights on what little humanity is left in the apocalypse. A story focusing on the theme of family, love and human's connection. In a broken world where survival is a luxury, will our main character finally find peace and happiness again?Complete
Mystical Mutant
~Highest rank~ #1 alienplanet (19/4/2023) || ×46 Award-winning book || After a great war wiped out the Elevanas and the Glorindians, the last survivor fled to Earth. Seventeen-year-old Fiona Cinderblock learned the way of humans; she got admission into Dian High School in Magnolia. Fiona tried to keep a low profile but her incredible skills exposed her every time. She rejected potential friends and connections to protect her secret identity; it was dangerous to grow fond of any human. ... Louis Walter, the son of the richest billionaires in town, is described as one with sass and smiles. People wondered what he didn't have-fame, money, a chiseled body, good looks-but bad grades. He had undergone intensive training since he was a kid and succeeded in all aspects except academics. Louis is reminded he's a wasted investment at the end of each semester by his father. Years passed and Louis got used to the name-calling. He accepted he was never good enough-but he wanted to pass his college exams. How could he prove his father wrong when he failed basic tests? ... These two worlds crossed paths-had a rusty start but slowly began to learn and grow together. Feelings crept in and they got comfortable with each other. Fiona loved Louis more when he opened up about his challenges, but he couldn't confess his love to her. As much as Fiona wanted to tell him about herself, she didn't. "What if he hates me? What if something goes wrong?" Louis found out about her secret in the most unpredictable way-when Fiona thought it was over, she had just unlocked another mystery. ©Kikibtsstan 2020Complete
Firebomb (The Jewel Project #2)
"Why is it always 'why' with you? Grow up already! Not all people are alike. You're good, I'm evil, you're naïve, I know how things are, and you're an idiot while I'm brilliant." With the jungle and Snitch Gravel left behind, Sam Grant thought the crazier part of life was over and he could now focus on his secret agent training and getting to know his new brothers. Before he can even get used to safety and comfort, everything goes downhill: his father goes ballistic, his cousin disappears and him and his brothers are called in to rescue a fellow agent from Snitch Gravel's base. Aside from sending them to battle countless henchmen, the Agency is also keen to keep them in the dark about their most important project - a project Sam and his brothers play a vital part in. Once again on the road, Sam must figure out how to do something he's never done before: infiltrate Snitch Gravel's base stealthily and come out unscathed. *** The story is completed. Sequel to Too Young Even if it's the second book in a series, the story is pretty stand-alone-ish. There are many characters, but it's easy to get the gist of them.

THE RISKS
"You can't tell me there isn't something here worth risking everything for." [New Adult Apocalyptic Romance] Summary: There are some things that you can't outrun. That becomes all the more obvious when the world is ending, when there's nothing left but the feral creatures that were once people, consumed now by a virus that's made them cannibalistic and ravenous. It might just be easier to end it all, but Claire still has one last thing to fight for. Her younger sister. And she intends to keep her safe, no matter the cost. So, with no other options and her sister in tow, Claire ventures out into the dangers of this new, unforgiving world in search of safety, security, and answers to some long burning questions. The first two things -along with some new, unexpected questions- she finds in an unlikely place: a stranger who she's become indebted to. She has a feeling he can help her answer all her questions, if she can allow herself to fully trust him. Trust, she thinks, is a fragile thing. Humanity, a construct. Love, a weakness. But these are the thoughts of a survivor, and she's beginning to wonder if surviving is all she wants. Maybe she wants to live.

Radiant Shadows
Sophie Taylor is a force of nature. With her sun-kissed blonde hair, piercing green eyes, and a radiance that captivates everyone she meets, she seems destined for greatness-or disaster. As a fearless journalism student at NYU, Sophie's knack for uncovering hidden truths is matched only by her reckless streak. Balancing late-night parties and dangerous investigations, she dives headfirst into her latest target: VelGenics, a biotech giant tied to human disappearances and illegal trials. But her charm and defiance attract more than trouble-they draw the attention of the supernatural world. Adrian Velmount, the prince and enforcer of an ancient and ruthless vampire dynasty, is sent to silence Sophie before her investigation exposes their secrets. Cold, calculating, and impossibly handsome, Adrian is a master of control, armed with centuries of medical knowledge and a reputation that inspires fear across the supernatural realm. Killing a human should be routine-until he feels the bond, the soul connection vampires revere but Adrian despises. Sophie's innocence and recklessness clash with Adrian's precision and darkness, creating a dynamic neither of them can escape. As VelGenics escalates its experiments, Sophie becomes a pawn in a deadly game she barely understands. When she's captured and subjected to cruel trials, it's Adrian's expertise in medicine that saves her life-again and again. Despite his disdain for the bond, Adrian finds himself unable to abandon her, even as his family brands him a traitor. But Sophie's stubborn determination and fearless spirit are as dangerous as her beauty, dragging both of them into a web of betrayal and danger. With VelGenics hunting her and Adrian defying his family to protect her, their bond grows stronger-forcing Adrian to confront the humanity he's buried and the vulnerability Sophie has never known.Complete
